Orange Camp Road annexation and commercial rezoning
Summary
Roughly 25 acres of vacant, partially wooded farmland near the I-4 interchange could be brought into DeLand and cleared for future highway commercial development. The city already has water and sewer lines along Orange Camp Road, and more development here would shape the growing gateway corridor.

Impact analysis
No cost figures were given, but the applicant would have to pay for any infrastructure upgrades needed when development permits are requested.
The property owners and future commercial users gain city services, and the city grows its gateway corridor tax base.
Nearby rural property owners to the south could see more traffic and development pressure if the land is built out commercially.

The city annexed about 25 acres near the I-4 interchange and set about 22 acres of it to Highway Commercial land use and C-2 General Commercial zoning. It's a gateway to the city, so expect highway-style commercial development and the traffic that comes with it.
